2008-01-29 10:38 DevinCook 900×600×0 (389908 bytes) Fixed the proportions of the bear. The flag code requires a 1x2 height to width ratio. The eye is also now centered in the white field.
2008-01-28 22:46 DevinCook 900×600×0 (390346 bytes) This version sets the colors to the official colors of the flag. However, real-life implementations tend to vary. This version also works on the eye.
2008-01-28 18:45 DevinCook 900×600×0 (390397 bytes) Fixed metrics of "California Republic".
2008-01-28 14:49 DevinCook 900×600×0 (390366 bytes) Fixed the star to fit the official (yet ambiguous) flag description. The flag wikipedia-created thumbnails are not updating, unfortunately.
2008-01-26 17:07 DevinCook 900×600×0 (390386 bytes) Made the proportions of the flag match the spec (best as possible). The image size was increased to 900x600 to make it easier to for determining sizes. The "C" in California was fixed and the overall text was made bolder.
2008-01-26 12:53 DevinCook 750×500×0 (389396 bytes) {{Information |Description=This is Flag of the Republic of California. This version is designed to accurately depict the standard print of the flag - in particular the bear. Early versions had a simplified version of the bear's coloring and textures. |Sou
